I know most of you that actually take the time to read interesting blog articles might like this one. I am all about exposing the truth and what better than the secret lives of men and women in South Africa? Men’s Health recently ran a huge survey called “The Battle of The Sexes” in which 1000 South African men and women were questioned on various aspects of their relationships from love, to food, to sex, to lies and even exercise.
Men’s Health and Women’s Health have dedicated their April issues to tackling the real truth about men and women, and helping readers to decode the opposite sex. Both titles ran an online survey and asked over 1000 readers to confess how they eat, sleep, love, spend, exercise and even lie – with some rather unexpected results! “The Battle of the Sexes” behaviour survey, featured in both magazines, will educate readers on the greatest divides between the sexes and where we are not as different as one might perceive…
This “Battle of the Sexes” theme is continued in other features in both magazines, eg. Women’s Health’s “Survival of the Fittest” reveals the relationship secrets of some of South Africa’s fittest couples, including Vanessa Haywood and Ryan Sandes. Men’s Health’s “Sex With Aliens: Women Explained” exposes some of the juiciest insights from the survey.
